Work on the new Brentford Community Stadium complex site, at Lionel Road South, started last week following confirmation that the club and its development partner had met all of the required pre-commencement planning obligations.

A new Brentford Community Stadium website has also been launched at brentfordcommunitystadium.com for fans to follow progress on the site.

This phase of the project is primarily focused on getting the Lionel Road South site ready for the start of the build of the stadium venue later this year.

Cliff Crown, Brentford FC Chairman said: “It’s been a long time coming but I am delighted that we have now started work at Lionel Road South.

“Once the site has been fully cleared we can get on with the serious work of building a new and exciting home for Brentford FC.

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank the London Borough of Hounslow and all our development partners who have helped to get us to this point.”
